Bionic bioceramic scaffolds are essential for achieving excellent implant properties and biocompatible behavior. In this study, inspired by the microstructure of natural bone, bionic hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramic scaffolds with different structures (body-centered cubic (BCC), face-centered cubic (FCC), and gyroid Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMSs)) and porosities (80 vol.%, 60 vol.%, and 40 vol.%) were designed, 3D-printed, and characterized. The effects of structure and porosity on the morphology, mechanical properties, and in vitro biocompatibility properties of the HAp scaffolds were studied and compared with each other. Interestingly, the HAp scaffold with a porosity of 80 vol.% and a TPMS structure had the best combination of compressive strength and in vitro biocompatibility, and demonstrated a great biomedical application potential for bone repair. We hope this study can provide a reference for the application and development of HAp scaffolds in the field of bone repair engineering.

Inspired by the fundamental attribute of chirality in nature, chiral-engineered biomaterials now represent a groundbreaking frontier in biomedical fields. However, the integration of chirality within inorganic materials remains a critical challenge and developments of chirality-induced bionic bone implants are still in infancy. In this view, novel chiral hydroxyapatite (CHA) coated Ti alloys are successfully synthesized by a sophisticated chiral molecule-induced self-assembly method for the first time.

Despite significant progress in repairing osteochondral injuries using 3D printing technology, most cartilage layer scaffolds are made of degradable materials, making it difficult to simultaneously provide extracellular matrix functionality while replicating the mechanical properties of natural cartilage layers. Additionally, their degradation rate is challenging to align with cartilage regeneration. Furthermore, double-layer scaffolds commonly used for repairing osteochondral often exhibit inadequate bonding between the cartilage layer scaffolds and bone layer scaffolds.

Enamel has good optical and mechanical properties because of its multiscale hierarchical structure. Biomimetic construction of enamel-like 3D bulk materials at nano-, micro-, mesh- and macro-levels is a challenge. A novel facile, cost-effective, and easy large-scale bottom-up assembly strategy to align 1D hydroxyapatite (HA) nanowires bundles to 3D hierarchical enamel structure with the nanowires bundles layer-by-layer interweaving orientation, is reported.

The unique gradient structure and complex composition of osteochondral tissue pose significant challenges in defect regeneration. Restoration of tissue heterogeneity while maintaining hyaline cartilage components has been a difficulty of an osteochondral tissue graft. A novel class of multi-crosslinked polysaccharide-based three-dimensional (3D) printing inks, including decellularized natural cartilage (dNC) and nano-hydroxyapatite, was designed to create a gradient scaffold with a robust interface-binding force.
